Treehouse rainforest escape
A RAINFOREST treehouse complete with private pontoon and a permit to operate commercial ventures, such as fishing or crocodile tours, has been listed for just $550,000 in the Daintree.
The 2ha property overlooks Barrats Creek, a tributary of the Daintree River, and is across from the Daintree Eco Lodge and minutes from the iconic Daintree National Park.
David Cotton of Raine and Horne Port Douglas/Mossman said it was “a dream retreat” at 3198 Mossman Daintree Rd, Daintree.
“Nestled in the heart of the World Heritage-listed Daintree rainforest, this exceptional riverfront property offers a rare chance to own a secluded haven,” he said.
“Surrounded by lush greenery and the calming sounds of nature, the home seamlessly combines architectural elegance with the natural beauty of its surroundings.
“This beautifully crafted timber pole home integrates natural elements to create a serene and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and peace.
“The property features expansive outdoor spaces, ideal for fishing, entertaining or unwinding in the midst of the rainforest’s beauty. With direct access to the Daintree’s rich flora and fauna, this property is a paradise for nature lovers. Explore jungle trails or simply bask in the sights and sounds of the wilderness from your own backyard.
“Overlooking Barrats Creek, a tributary of the Daintree River, the property offers a tranquil escape where you can connect with nature and enjoy peaceful surroundings.
“Whether you dream of a private residence, boutique holiday retreat, or wellness sanctuary, this property offers endless possibilities.
“The vast land provides space for development while preserving the area’s natural charm. A current permit allows for commercial ventures such as fishing or crocodile tours from your private pontoon.”
The listing notes the property was flooded in 1996 and the recent unprecedented 2023 floods. The nearby Daintree Village was cut off for a week with no power, water or phone communication from December 13-19 following the record breaking floods across the Far North in 2023.
During that time the village received 1921mm of rain and the Daintree Rver peaked at 15m high on December 18.
